1995 WTA Tour

Women's tennis circuit

The WTA Tour is the elite tour for professional women's tennis organised by the Women's Tennis Association (WTA). The WTA Tour includes the four Grand Slam tournaments, the WTA Tour Championships and the WTA Tier I, Tier II, Tier III and Tier IV events. ITF tournaments are not part of the WTA Tour, although they award points for the WTA World Ranking.

Steffi Graf finished the year as world No. 1 for the record-equaling seventh time in her career, tying Martina Navratilova's achievement. She won nine tournaments during the season, including three majors at the French Open, the Wimbledon Championships, and the US Open, as well as the WTA Tour Championships. She also won two Tier I events.

Monica Seles also finished the year as world No. 1 for the third time in her career, being granted the ranking on a protected status as part of her return from her 1993 stabbing. She won one tournament during the season, a Tier I event, and finished runner-up at a major at the US Open.
